  • I guess it helps I live at a higher latitude where summer isn't as hot (although it's getting hotter every year)

  • I've used nushell for several months, and it really is an amazing shell

    It feels more like an actual language than arcane runes, and I can easily makes chains and pipelines and things that would be difficult in bash

    Additionally, it makes a pretty good scripting language

  • Summer better because it's not depressing

  • Don't worry, just scrub it off with a knife you'll be fine

  • I wonder if people who actually have 6 fingers per hand (polydactyly) have any problems with it, like do people say their pictures are AI generated

  • Breaking LLMs is fun

  • Triggering infighting in the parties would be a good way to waste their time

  • In haskell, any function with a name made entirely out of symbols (like + or >>=) works as an infix operator (you can turn any function into an infix operator using backticks)

  • Polish also does that, but it doesn't show up for the word "day" because the nominative plural and genitive plural forms are the same

    I'll use the word "godzina" (hour) instead

    1 godzina

    2 godziny

    3 godziny

    4 godziny

    5+ godzin

  • What makes skibidi not a real word? Sure, it's a nonsense word often used to replace other words, but it still carries some meaning, even if vague

    Remember that linguistics isn't just about high brow standard written/spoken language, it covers all types of language, including slang, body language and sign language

    There are real linguists with real qualifications who have actually studied gen Z and gen alpha slang and gotten scientific conclusions out of it

    I believe one linguist who studied it was able to either impress or embarrass a high school by speaking entirely in correct gen Z/gen alpha slang

  • Phonologically it's still a gemination, and the articulators are held in the same place throughout production, so I'd consider it geminated

  • What constitutes an "actual word"?

  • [k] can be drawn out, it's done in Finnish in words like heikko or vierekkäin

  • Aren't chains only used by railworkers?

  • choice

    Jump
  • targets dropping dead as I turn their brains to poo

  • شكرا، اتبعت النصيحك

  • eat fuck and die, the purpose of life (according to natural selection)

  • It depends on the language, but generally, use anki decks, study grammar (you can often find free grammar resources online) and read/watch/listen to content in the target language. Having a course for the basics helps but often good options heavily depend on the language

    Eventually, you can start trying to communicate with other speakers, either online (via text chats/voice chats) or IRL if that's possible

  • ADB loopback apps already exist, such as Shizuku
